“What I actually think is going to happen is Sony’s market share gains are going to come at Nintendo’s expense,” Pachter says. “And Microsoft is going to chug along the way they’ve been with relatively flat sales and I think Microsoft is going to be OK with that.”

“I think what is likely is that Wii sales are going to drop more,” Pachter predicts. “You can’t really justify buying a Wii for $249. You get ‘Wii Sports’ with it but no hard drive, whereas you can get a PS3 with a Blue-ray player and a 120-gig hard drive and built-in Wi-Fi. And you can get an Xbox 360 with a 120-gig hard drive and access to Netflix and Facebook. It just doesn’t make sense to buy a Wii for $50 less.”

Doesnt the Wii have built in WiFi? How else can I connect to the internet with no cable? Why is this mentioned for PS3 and not for Wii?

I am confused.

 

Yup it does, as stated in my observation on Pachter's quotes. Was also a reason I couldnt follow either, as I'm playing COD WAW every night lately

 

@Khuutra - LOL @ the steak comment. At least now we know why Outback is so expensive.
